*** And even better? Kairi is using ''her keyblade as well''. Only [[spoiler:Namine is missing from the group above]], but that makes sense considering she doesn't have a keyblade yet.

* There's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssrlR_rdFc another new trailer]] out, and it's even [[hottip:longer: (almost ten minutes)]] than the Jump Festa one! Highlights include: Quorra, Clu and the rest of the gang are in the ''Film/TronLegacy'' world;\\
a boss fight with ''Ursula'' hints at another world (or an early game BossRush, considering the size of her HP bar, and the partner who looks a lot like Riku);\\
the old Master Xehanort is in the game;\\
Roxas and Axel talking atop the belfry in Twilight Town;\\
the young Xehanort kicking [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Mr. Mew]] in front of Riku;\\
Sora pulling a BigDamnHeroes ''on Neku and Shiki'';\\
Sora facing Xigbar (Braig?) in The World That Never Was;\\
Lea talking with ''Yen Sid''[[hottip:*:(thus implying the HeelFaceTurn is basically complete by now)]]... am I missing something?\\
Oh, yeah, a GainaxEnding where [[spoiler: Xion, Terra, Ventus, Aqua, and just about everyone makes an appearance while Sora is surrounded by cloaked figures in front of Memory's Skyscraper, and while Ansem SOD slams Riku to the ground (as Xemnas chokes Mickey) in the Organization's reunion room, with the aforementioned old Master Xehanort watching.]] The best part? [[spoiler: [[MindScrew Sora is sitting on one of the chairs!]] ]]
** Possible FridgeBrilliance (and further MindScrew) on that last part. Roxas was part of the Organization, and he's part of Sora now... [[spoiler: so Sora is siting in ''Roxas's'' chair!]]

* There's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssrlR_rdFc another new trailer]] out, and it's even [[hottip:longer: (almost ten minutes)]] than the Jump Festa one! Highlights include: Frollo is ''a boss'';\\
Quorra, Clu and the rest of the gang are in the ''Film/TronLegacy'' world;\\

* According to rumors on the web, Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, and Olivia Wilde will be reprising their roles of Kevin Flynn/Clu, Sam, and Quorra respectively.

* The secret ending [[spoiler:features Kairi getting taken to Yen Sid's Tower, most likely for Keyblade training]].

* A playable Riku ''without'' a [[KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories card system]], [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 an entire game divided into about ninety missions]] or a [[KingdomHeartsII few seconds deadline]], and the fact that all of the Disney-based worlds will be entirely new. Also, there's rejoicing about Sora being ''Sora himself'' and [[KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep not Ventus, Terra, Aqua]], [[KingdomHeartsCoded a Data replica]], [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 Roxas, or an unlockable character]], whatever [[WordOfGod "he won't be the same Sora you know"]] may mean.

* For those who like the cool {{Kaiju}}-esque "monster" bosses like ''[=KHII=]'''s [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Storm Rider]] and [[ColossusClimb Groundshaker]], some of the Dream Eater bosses like the [[TyrannosaurusRex Rex Tyrant]] and [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Bullet Gargoyle]] invoked this reaction.

** Well [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Atlantica]] isn't returning in the game, [[ScrappyLevel which is a good thing]]. With that knowledge, you start the game, expecting some overlong tutorial prologue from the previous games and - HOLY SHIT! [[spoiler: THE GAME STARTS WITH A DISNEY BOSS BATTLE! AND IT'S URSULA USING THE EXAM TO EXACT HER REVENGE!]]

** So there's a BonusBoss. Hmmm, nice! We feared this only to pop up in a future [[NoExportForYou Final Mix]][[hottip:(however): (that, by the way, could still be released in the west, considering the NEFY status of previous Final Mixes is because of Sony's re-release criteria - that demand a reasonable amount of new content for a game to make it overseas; Nintendo ''themselves'' re-release the [[{{Pokemon}} Third Versions]], so...)]], so it's already good news by itself-- wait, did you say it's a ''Disney'' bonus boss this time? Well, who did they get-- ''HOLY CRAP, IS THAT [[spoiler: '''[[RunawayBrain JULIUS]]?!?''']] IN TRAVERSE TOWN?!? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCsykz3TSX0 REALLY?!?]]'' Oh, come on, Square! Just take my damn money already!

*** Not ''only'' does Lea [[spoiler:have a Keyblade]] now, he's also [[spoiler: ''a Keyblade Master'']]. ''Everyone'' collectively had the same reaction as Sora, Riku, Mickey, Donald and Goofy.

** After the final boss, we find out that Lea [[spoiler: ''has a Keyblade'']] now, making Sora, Riku, Mickey, Donald and Goofy go, like, [[BigWhat "WHAT?!?"]]. [[WordOfGod "Lea is a key character in the story"]], ''indeed.''

** The World That Never Was has been revealed to be [[spoiler: the ruined one following the climax of ''[=KH2=]'']]; when Sora [[spoiler: confronts Xemnas and Xigbar]] there, he repats his [[spoiler: "my friends are my power"]] line... causing [[spoiler: Xemnas and Xigbar to freak out as a vision of ''Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Terra, Ventus, Aqua, Roxas and Xion'' appears before them]]. Doubles as a MomentOfAwesome; before the video inevitably gets pulled from Youtube you can see it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1QdUQl6krA here.]]

** Some of the new keyblades. These include the ''Skull Noise'' from Traverse Town. Yes, a tribal-tattoo-like keyblade, with a Player-Pin-like skull for its "teeth, inspired by the Noise seen in ''TheWorldEndsWithYou'', and a modified (read: "enhanced", so to speak) rapier from the Three Musketeers' world.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4letdnIwGuk The opening.]] All of it. And when the whole opening is an ATFR... you realise it's just ''the opening'', and wonder [[SerialEscalation how the rest of the game is going to be like.]]

** Let's face it. At this rate, this ''ENTIRE GAME'' is going to be one giant [[AndTheFandomRejoiced ATFR.]]
** Of course it is. Let's just say that (before the inevitable cleanup eventually occurs), as of this edit, this page's ATFR section is ''twice as large as those of the other tropes.''
*** It is a separate page now.

* Release date March 2012: which is an amazingly quick development cycle for a mainline KH game; both ''[=KH2=]'' and ''BBS'' took 3 years from announcement to release. The game has gotten an official US and UK release confirmation, and
ff Square Enix France (and their leaky website) are to be believed, it's very likely we'll see this game in English by late July or early August. That's a localisation turnaround of 5 months, which is very quick for a ''Kingdom Hearts'' title.
